Stewart convicted on all charges

I have found an article about Martha Stewart. A jury in New York found Martha Stewart guilty on all four counts of obstructing justice and lying to investigators about a well-timed stock sale. Her ex-broker, Peter Bacanovic, was found guilty on four of the five charges against him. Stewart and Bacanovic faces up to five years in prison and a big amount. They didn’t show any emotion as the verdict was read.
"This is a victory for the little guys. No one is above the law." Said one of the jurors.
Stewart left the courthouse an hour after the verdict was read, accompanied by her lawyers without responding the questions that the reporters where asking.
While leaving the courthouse some people began chanting, "We want Martha!" . Meanwhile some eyewitnesses said Stewart's daughter Alexis was crying.
In a statement posted on her Web site, Stewart said, that she was obviously distressed by the jury's verdict but she take comfort in knowing that she have done nothing wrong and that she have the enduring support of her family and friends.
The trial began Januari 27 and ran for five weeks. Stewart and Bacanovic didn’t testified at the trial.
Stewart is a felon and she's going to prison.
Stewart told CNN's Larry King Live last December that she was not prepared for the trial. Because no one is ever prepared for such a thing.
